Two fan-shaped ancient buildings embrace a fairy fountain. The Basilica of the Angels and Martyrs on the Square was converted in 1563 by Michelangelo in his later years using the cold bathroom in Diocletian's Bathroom.:.../The Italian churches are everywhere. Many people say they will have aesthetic fatigue, but Yun Luo thinks it depends on personal preference.

Different styles have different surprises, but even churches with similar styles definitely do not have the same design and decoration. Therefore, for Yunluo, who prefers architecture, it is not enough to see it. Later, An Chuyu is about to start to stop Yunluo from rushing in every church passing by.

As for paintings, sculptures, cultural relics and other clouds, I feel tired. A small door in the hall leads to the Galileo Memorial Courtyard, the Chinese Academy of Sciences donated a bronze statue of Galileo designed by Li Zhengdao. It was already past 6 o'clock after visiting here. Yunluo and An Chuyu thought they could go back to the hotel.

It turned out that there was no intention of getting dark in the evening (later I found out that the evening here was not the same as the evening when Yunluo and An Chu met. It was very dark, and many museums were open directly until 7 o'clock, and dinner was basically open at 8 o'clock. It was really a paradise for tourists!). And there was a subway station here, so Yunluo had a sudden idea.

Why not go to Piazza Spain directly? (It was originally arranged yesterday, but because the plane was delayed, I basically decided to give up. Piazza Spain is just a commercial street in Yunluo's impression. Because the Roman holiday became popular, I thought it was okay to go or not. However, since there is a romapass in hand, let's make full use of it.

And the subway is also very convenient. An Chuyu immediately agreed. Plaza Spain takes the Monte Trinity Church as its endpoint and does not have many highlights. However, in the movie "Roman Holiday", Audrey Hepburn has become a household name after eating ice cream on the Spanish steps of the square.

Although Condoti Street opposite the steps is narrow, it almost brings together all the familiar luxury brand flagship stores. There is a café called caegre which is definitely a place for show off. This place is not only a place where British poets gather, but also artists from all over the world often show their talents here. Such as musicians Chopin, Liszt, and the great writer Goethe.

There is an Egyptian obelisk in the center of the Spanish stairs. The broken boat fountain below the stairs was designed by Bernini's father Peter Bennini. I personally feel very ordinary. There is also littering garbage in the pool. This is the Easter holiday. Does it feel like Nanjing Road? After walking along Condoti Street for a while, Yunluo and An Chuyu were really not interested in shopping.

I planned to find a restaurant to have dinner, but later I saw a small church, so I couldn't help but go in and visit it. I found that a mass was being held inside. It was an important mass before Easter, full of seats. Yun Luo and An Chuyu endured their almost exhausted feet, and stood in the back row with great interest and enjoyed it for a long time.

Let me introduce the Mass. Mass is a religious ritual of Catholicism. Mass is the transliteration of the Latin word "disband, leave", which comes from the last sentence in the Mass: "ite, Massast", that is, "the ceremony is over, you leave". The Mass Sacrifice is the most noble ritual of Catholicism.

The Holy Blood of Jesus Christ became a true sacrifice through consecration on the altar, which was a repetition of the sacrifice of the cross. It was a religious ceremony for the Catholic Church to commemorate Jesus’ sacrifice. A bishop spoke on the stage, probably a fragment of the Bible. Some listeners followed the clergy to a small house next to him, and Yunluo came over to take a look.

Each of them lit a small candle, which was probably a blessing ceremony. After a while, they returned to their seats and continued to listen to the bishop's speech. Then there was the choir chanting, which was generally divided into vocal parts, which was really pleasant, peaceful, profound, and holy, just like the sound of nature. It is said that there were also holy rituals, which were consecrated bread and wine, and the holy blood.

A small piece of cake and a small lipstick wine is used as the body and blood of Jesus Christ. After eating it, I will be with Jesus and receive redemption. This is an allusion from the last supper before Jesus’ crucifixion. After reading it halfway, Yun Luo and An left early, without cultural background. At most, they just look at the excitement and feel the solemnity and solemnity of the devout believers.

After leaving the house, Yunluo and An Chuyu decided to take a taxi back to the hotel. So they ordered an Audi for rent. They said that the handsome Italian guys were everywhere on the street. What I experienced the most this time was their elegant temperament and their appearance did not have a special feeling, especially the Mediterranean that formed prematurely (see Prince William for details. It is probably caused by excessive androgen secretion).

The driver skillfully turned the steering wheel with one hand. The other one randomly touched the phone to set navigation and it made people excited. To be honest, this is the most impressive Italian handsome guy in Yunluo on this trip:) I arrived at the hotel soon and checked out about 7 euros, and the price was of course far higher than that in China. It was already raining heavily.

Yunluo and An Chuyu planned to find a shop near the hotel for a casual meal, but found that the dinner time of the people here was basically defined after 8 o'clock. Many shops were still queuing up and finally found a place to sit around. During the meal, I learned about the slow life of the people here, and the speed of serving was unbearable.

When Yun Luo and An Chu met the meal, the waiter was surprised. In their opinion, isn’t a carefully prepared dinner worth a long wait? Looking at the table next to him, drinking beer and eating a simple meal, they could be slowed down for several hours. They were completely convinced. After dinner, they hurried back to the room to rest. You must know that replenishing their energy is the most important thing in traveling!

The next day, the theme revolved around ancient Rome. On days like Easter, I had a different feeling in my heart. The continuous running made me exhausted, so I slept for a while in the morning and found that it was rainy outside the window. After breakfast, I went straight to the subway station. This time I made no mistake, and went to the ancient Roman Colosseum station.

This time I came out and felt the benefits of the small city. Working in Sihai City is definitely close to 6 kilometers. The 1-2-hour traffic in the city really makes me feel like a waste of life. When I leave the subway station, I see the magnificent Colosseum. It rains heavily, and the crowds holding umbrellas are endless.

Yunluo and An Chuyu rushed forward, glad that they had made the right calculation before and could enter directly with romapass. As a result, a security guard in front of him waved to Yunluo and An Chuyu, and temporarily set up another team. In this way, Yunluo and An Chuyu were directly in front and soon entered the ticket hall.

I looked at the empty romapass passage next to me, and thought that this time the romapass has really become a transportation card. I received free tickets and rented an explanation tool. I started to enter the venue. The Colosseum (Los Color Um) was a place where the ancient Roman Empire was dedicated to slave owners, nobles and free people to watch beasts or slave gladiators.

It was built between 72 and 82 AD and covers an area of ​​about 20,000 square meters. It is said that a 100-day celebration was held when it was completed, and 9,000 livestock were slaughtered. In fact, there is no need to say about gladiators Yunluo and An Chuhui. Many books, film and television works have reflected it. However, in the face of the cruel gladiator scene, it seems that you can see the bloody battle on the stage thousands of years ago.

When I heard the cheers and shouts in the audience, I still felt an uncontrollable sadness and sadness in my heart. A sentence sounded in my mind: Life and death are destined, and wealth is in heaven. Most of the gladiators are slaves, and many of them fight for freedom. Because some gladiators can be released after winning a certain number of games.

Yunluo thought this might be their only spiritual sustenance and hope. After 2000 years, the Colosseum was incomplete and the walls were demolished on a large scale to serve as raw materials for other buildings. However, it was a miracle that the main body could be retained to this day. The rain was almost pouring at this time, and Yunluo and An Chuyu walked forward with an umbrella.

Yun Luo left a sentence on his circle of friends: The battle, howling, plasma, and cheers on the Colosseum have been rippling to this day. Civilization is just a cover. Let this Easter downpour to wash away the sins of human beings. A few thousand years of history has been in the process of human evolution in a blink of an eye, so Yun Luo firmly believes that the essence of human evil is absolutely unchanged.

It is just that there are different forms of expression in different historical periods. In ancient times, when productivity is relatively backward, this evil is more obvious. Today, with advanced technology, this evil is hidden behind "civilization". In fact, the eternal supremacy of interests is an irreversible fact. Material level determines spiritual civilization. The reason why Americans seem to be "good".

That is when they stand on the shoulders of giants and live relatively worry-free, so they don’t need to use their “evil” side to make a living. Yunluo thinks that this is also the essence of the so-called “original sin” and “salvation” of Christianity. Repentance is a lifelong thing. The grids under these performance venues are the cages of gladiators and beasts.

The Colosseum is actually very fast to visit, but there will be detailed explanations at several points. When you walk to the back, you can see the famous Arc de Triomphe in Constantine. It was built for Emperor Constantine to return triumphantly after winning the battle. Napoleon was also built by the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. The emperor always likes this, praises the merits and remembers thousands of histories.

Rights are something tempting. After leaving the Colosseum Yunluo and An Chuyu began to walk towards the ancient Roman ruins. The rain was still heavy. The road was full of water, and Yunluo and An Chuyu's shoes were wet. Fortunately, they had a windbreaker to keep the cold, so they didn't shivering. The ancient Roman ruins were the city center of the ancient Roman era, including some of the oldest and most important palaces and buildings in Rome.

After thousands of years of wind and frost, now there are only decayed walls and tiles left. This scene is very familiar to Yunluo and An Chu who came from the ancient city. The heroic spirit of the Han and Tang dynasties in the past is now destroyed. It is all about the same truth. There are no banquets that will last forever in the world. There are many ruins and monuments.

Because it is really difficult to identify without an explanation of Yun Luo and An Chuhui, I just walked through it and felt the glory of the past. The famous Tulazhen pillar stands in the Tulazhen Square in Imperial Square. Compared with the columnar structure that is erected on the sky, Yun Luo still prefers various gorgeous and complex arches. Here are a few words.

Ancient Rome was a very interesting historical phenomenon. It transitioned from a seemingly democratic regime like the Roman Republic to a Roman Empire ruled by the Roman Empire. It is generally believed in history that this is an evolution. There is an episode in the BBC documentary about it. Then Yun Luo and An Chu met to Piazza Venice, where a military parade was held every National Day.

Its status is somewhat similar to the ** Square. The Victor Emmanuel II Century Monument and the Vittoriano Italian Unification Memorial Hall respectively correspond to the People's Heroes Monument and the ** Memorial Hall. The memorial hall was completed in 1911 and was built to commemorate the unification of Italy and the Emmanuel II, who promoted its unification.

The front of the memorial hall is an arc-shaped facade formed by 16 cylinders. There are two huge bronze statues on the memorial hall, the right represents "thought" and the left represents "action". On the second step leading to the memorial hall, there is a flying lion statue created by Michelangelo. The two groups of fountains below the steps symbolize the Tyrrhenian Sea.

The symbol of the Adriatic Sea on the left is Victor Emmanuel II, a figure riding a horse in the center of the steps. Yun Luo and An Chuyu climbed the steps to the side of the memorial hall to look at the Roman scenery. The doves on the fence were as fascinated as Yun Luo and An Chuyu:) At this time, the rain stopped, but Yun Luo and An Chuyu were still standing in their wet shoes.

So the two discussed that they had to go back to the hotel to deal with it first to avoid a cold. They found a bus stop on the map to take a ride back to the hotel, so romapass came in handy. On the way, I found a fast food restaurant and casually solved the lunch (after experiencing the long wait for dinner the day before, Yunluo and An Chuyun decided to save time and try to make it as easy as possible for lunch later.)

There are many fast food restaurants here. You can choose from pizza of various flavors made at the counter. Most of them are square in shape, and there are also some breads, ice cream, etc., which are all saliva! In fact, if you are in a hurry and do not have too high requirements for the environment, this fast food restaurant on the roadside is an excellent choice.

The taste will never be disappointing. After going out, I actually saw a Great Wall. Should I be proud? Haha. However, this time Yunluo and An Chu met and found that in this country that produces luxury cars (Ferrari, Lamborghini, etc., Maserati.), luxury cars are rarely seen on the streets. I heard that Italy's economy is in a severe depression now.

Everyone started selling domain names at the end of it. This time I came out and felt deeply. I was poor! Yunluo is not better than the motherland. Although 80% of the citizens believe in Catholicism, Yunluo always feels that the crisis of survival can make people betray their faith. In addition, they also understand the history of medieval Europe, and they feel that the faith is extremely empty and the church is dark.

People are living in poverty. After all, humans still carry the word "original sin". They cannot be washed away by their own efforts. Cough cough cough cough, the topic went off the ground again. After dinner, Yun Luo found a church with handcuffs and shackles on the map. Although it is unknown, there is a "Moses" by the treasure of Michelangelo.

As a result, when I walked to the door, I found that the person was not open because of Easter. Hey, I was cheating. I rushed to the station and went back to the hotel to soak my feet. Speaking of the Italian hotel, there was a relatively low pool beside the sink. At first, Yun Luo thought it was a urinal, but later he thought it was something wrong, so he just thought it was a foot bath.

The tired, cold, swollen feet were soaked in hot water, and it felt so soaked in the feet. Change your pair of socks and shoes (fortunately, I brought two pairs of shoes!), set off again, and first go to the Basilica of Our Lady next to the hotel, which is one of the four special apostolic temples in Rome (the Basilica of St. John Latrand, respectively.

The Basilica of St. Peter, the Basilica of St. Paul and the Basilica of Our Lady outside the city), walked out of the hotel in two steps, and it was closed! It was Easter again. There was no way, so I had to look out for it. It is said that the interior is quite luxurious and spectacular, so I will definitely make up for it next time! Later, at Yunluo's suggestion, Yunluo and An Chuyu took a bus to the most famous art gallery in Rome, Pogsay Gallery.

If you take the subway, this place is actually quite troublesome. You have to walk a long way from Piazza Espanyol Station. As a result, you can use the map to query + romapass, and you can get there in a few stops and go directly to the door. It is very convenient. The Pogsey Art Gallery was originally the villa of Cardinal Sipione Pogsey, and he is the sponsor of Benini.

He is also a famous collector. This Baroque-style villa built in 1613 was directly converted into an art gallery. The exhibitions are centered on his collections, displaying carvings on the first floor and paintings on the second floor. The Bogesy Park next to the art gallery is a villa garden built at the same time. As a result, it was tragic that it was thought that the romapass could finally come in handy.

When I arrived at the scene, I was told that there was no ticket for Easter today, but I had to make an appointment! Yunluo, the art museum, had checked online before and did call to make an appointment, but because it was not too popular, I usually enter directly at the scene. Moreover, because Yunluo and An Chuyu were not sure enough, Yunluo did not make an appointment.

In fact, the most important thing is that Easter free tickets lead to excessive crowds, so even the romapass is useless. So Yunluo and An Chuyu had to go around the garden and then take the bus back to the near the train station. Back near the train station, Yunluo and An Chuyu studied where to use romapass.

(Because there are romapass entrances in many attractions, I skip the queue), but I found that there was a Roman National Museum that seemed good. When I arrived at the door, I saw that it was crowded with people. When I went in, I asked, romapass had to line up, and I was speechless. I went back to the hotel to rest. It was good to keep my energy.
Chapter completed!
